SAN DIEGO, June 19 /PRNewswire/ -- A new chemical fertility control
technology that could substantially reduce the devastating impacts of
rodents on rice production in developing countries is being featured at the
BIO 2008 International Convention in San Diego, California from the 17th
through the 20th of June. SenesTech, Inc., a Flagstaff, Arizona - based
corporation, is developing a technology that will target the fertility of
rice field rats in Southeast Asia. If successful this technology will
result in increased crop yields, an increase in food supplies globally, and
will improve the quality of life for hundreds of millions of lives within a
few years.

"It is impossible to overstate the importance of this technology," said
Dr. Loretta P. Mayer, one of the company's founders and inventors of the
technology. "One fifth to one third of the world's food supply never
reaches the table due to the deleterious impacts of rodents. They damage
crops both pre- and post-harvest by not only eating the grain but damaging
it with urine and feces pollution. They also spread many debilitating
diseases. While this problem has persisted for centuries, it is possible
that we may be able to start reversing this process. Research shows that
just a ten percent reduction in the rice rat population can feed over 380
million people. The numbers are simply staggering," she said.

The development of the technology is being completed at Northern
Arizona University in Flagstaff, while further characterization of animal
models is being conducted at Arizona State University in Tempe. The
technology is built on patents filed by the University of Arizona in
Tucson, on which Dr. Mayer is co-inventor. This statewide effort reflects
the mission of the Arizona Bioscience Roadmap, which provides Arizona
scientists with a conduit for collaborative research and technology
transfer.
